Yeah, but he never became a big time pro QB. Don’t know why.

Just a few personal observations:played golf in a Tiger fund raising tourney with his former TE, a few yrs after they both graduated and he said, paraphrasing to be PC, "Tommy "scored" more than any football player in the history of LSU; Tommy used his NFL signing bonus to pay for his dream house here in B.R.....as opposed to blowing it on wine, women, and cars; Tommy was quoted several times as retiring from the NFL because he got tired of being embarrassed by his teammates walking through the airport. Comparing R.D to him is a joke, as all he had was an arm & while gutless might be a stretch, not too much. JR had a great final season, his career was nowhere close to Hodson's.

Hodson played on some terrible New England teams. They went 1-15 his rookie year (1990) and they went through three QBs that year. Basically, he was put in a bad situation from the outset, and he never got the chance to develop into an NFL-caliber QB.

Weak arm. Bill Parcels let him loose from the Pats.



Hodson led the players who called for Mike Archer to be promoted to HC, probably the worst thing to happen in LSU Football history.
